……………………… I showered and pulled on jeans and a t-shirt I pulled
the brush through my hair and walked out in to the dressing room.
I smiled at the sight in front of me at the guy's all talking on
their phones excitedly telling family how it had gone for us. I
picked up My phone and dialed Dimi.

Dimi * Эй, вы. (hey you)

Me * hi

Dimi * so come on we're all here and we're all dying to know how
did it go?
Me * amazing the only thing missing was you guys being here. And
thank you for the flowers they were amazing

Dimi * What flowe…

There was a slap and some muttering in the background making me
smile and realize it was all down to Miranda and Heidi the guys
were still really on the caveman level where gestures like
flowers were concerned

Dimi * school sucks when you're not here it was rough today
everyone knows you were doing your first show and kept asking me
about it.

Dimi * well that was the plan but my grades have slipped and I
can't miss school.

Okay why was it sounding like he was making excuses

Me * you're kidding right?

Dimi * come on Chris I had to take time out when you were in
trouble in Wisconsin and I'm struggling to catch up

Me * why didn't you say some thing

Dimi * because the last thing you need to be worried about is my
grades when you're out there

Me * no but ever think that seeing you is what I want

Dimi * Chris let's not fight

Me * I'm not fighting… I'm just… I'll call you in the morning… I
love you

Dimi * yeah you too

I hung up the phone and pushed it onto the counter and rubbed my
neck the chatter around me was like Charlie Browns teacher with
the WAWAWA kinda drone

"Okay you should be on top of the world right now" Kerion threw
an M&M at me letting it bounce off of my head

"I'm fine" I shook my head and chewed my lip

"Liar" Alfie looked up and tipped his head "What's Dimi said or
done now?"

"Why do you think it's him?" I snapped a little defensively

"We know him remember" Pete held out his hands, I pushed off the
counter I was leaning against and walked to the fridge and pulled
out a bottle of water

"His grades are heading for the toilet right now with the school
he's missed chasing me to Wisconsin what Arron did. I thought he
was going to come and visit next week but now…"

"Well he'll have to work his ass off to get his grades back up
maybe stop being such a jock and put his nose in his books for
once might work" Pete looked at me and shrugged

"Chris please don't even think of giving this up to run back to
Florida" Kerion walked over to me "It's your big shot hell it's
our big shot"

"I'm not this is my dream… our dream..." I smiled at him as best
as I could "I know it sounds selfish but he's either on board or
he's not" I was angry with Dimitri, yes I was grateful that he
had come to Wisconsin after what happened with Arron but using it
as a way to blame someone other than himself for his grades
dropping felt a little wrong to me. I didn't ask for Arron to do
what he did.

Silence fell on the room as we all went into our own thoughts of
the night and how it had played out, the sounds of Nickleback
doing what they did filtering through the walls let us know it
wasn't a dream. The door opened and Lukas walked in with Elena
behind him

"So how you all feeling?" He said looking around at us and
clapping his hands together

"I don't know" Alfie looked at him "It's surreal"

"Let's see if you guys will be thinking that after the European
leg of the tour is done" Lukas stood by the bank of mirrors on
the one side of the room

"What when we wake up in our own bed and getting up for school" I
chuckled "Wow finishing high school is going to be a little…"

Strange"

"Boring"

"Not like this"

Everyone started to laugh as the guys filled in some blanks

"All of the above" Elena sat down "We have a tutor joining us
next week to make sure the four of you graduate on time if not
sooner. You are all in advanced classes unlike my boys" she
seemed irritated at the mention of her sons… They is talk of you
being able to be done with school in a few weeks" she glanced at
Simon who nodded "So you're all going to have to juggle studying
hard with traveling and performing and rehearsing"

"Okay…" Pete nodded "But if we graduate in a few weeks then what
are we going to do?" Lukas walked round the room

"If you guys want to go to the hotel the car is waiting for you"
he got to the door

"Yeah I think we will" I narrowed my eyes as I looked at him.
Something was going on but what we had no idea. The guys grabbed
their things and Alfie handed me my jacket as they headed out of
the door.

"Christine" I looked round at Elena "You know I told you that
Dimitri…"

"It's okay I know I called him before… his grades are in the pan"
I shrugged she sighed and nodded

"He has to get his studies in you understand he can't get by on
his looks and Athletic skill alone in life"

"Yes Ma'am" I nodded "I guess four weeks isn't really that long I
can wait till we go home to see him" If we weren't still fighting
that was

…………….. The next couple of weeks were a made ride of Flights,
hotels, venues, rehearsing, performing, studying and sleeping.
Dimitri and I were talking but avoiding talking about seeing each
other and with how studying was going especially since the four
of us had discussed it and we had managed to finish all of the
school work and it had almost killed us but it felt good not to
have to worry about math or English. I closed my book I was using
like a diary.

"You done already" Pete scratched his head with his pen "And what
are you writing in there?" He peered at the book and smiled

"Yep, and it's a diary I don't want to forget anything that's
going on and I'm going to grab some coffee you guys want some?" I
got up from the bed

"You really have to ask" Alfie for some reason was lay on his
stomach under a table writing in his song book "Oh and hey if
you're going out into the streets watch these French guys" I
looked at him "Well I think they might be as bad as the Russians"
he pushed his tongue into his cheek as Kerion snorted to try to
cover up his laughter

"Okay smart ass water for you" I laughed shaking my head at him

"Oh you can't do that to a guy" He moaned, I grabbed my jacket
and walked out of the hotel room and headed down the stairs and
walked toward the meeting rooms, Nickelback were in a press
conference in one of the rooms I pushed open the door and walked
over to Elena and Lukas who were standing at the back watching
them charm the French press.

"I'm going to go out for a while" I touched Elena on the shoulder
she looked round at me.

"I'd take someone with you one of the security guards can go"
Lukas looked at me and then looked around at the security guys
that flanked the doors

"I'll be fine" I forced myself not to roll my eyes at him

"Chris Paris is a huge maze of a city and you have sound check in
a couple of hours and we have a meeting set up" he looked at his
watch "in the band's suite in an hour" O-Oh what the hell

"Have we done something wrong?" I felt a little panicked, you
could never tell with Lukas he always had a poker face where
business was concerned I still couldn't work out if he actually
liked any of NeverWest.

"We have a meeting in an hour you should actually go back and
wait with your band" He looked back at the band Elena walked me
out of the room

"He freaks me out when he sounds like that" I frowned at her
"We've let someone down haven't we?"

"No honey no… it's a big meeting" she smiled at me "Don't forget
I have to go back home for a while Anastasia is due to have her
baby in a few days and it's my first grand baby" My eyes got wide
I forgot about that part and the fact we had two weeks left and
doing it without

"Who'll have our back?" I ran my fingers through my hair

"Don't worry you'll be looked after and I'll be at the end of the
phone" she smiled and did her usual pat on my cheek "and I need
to go make sure that boy of mine is working on getting his grades
up" she moved out of the way as someone walked by us with some
equipment "I'll be back in a few weeks"

"But we go home in two" I frowned She lifted her chin

"You go and sit with your boys and Lukas will come get you when
it's time for the meeting" she pushed the door back open and was
gone. I slowly walked back to the elevator and got inside the
nerves were amped up now what the hell was this meeting about………
